Dood Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 [quote name='Johngh' post='73976' date='Oct 13 2007, 10:43 PM']Well lads a lasses here she is, I give you "Blondie" The pics are the best I can do at the moment. I will try to get better ones done. The pics don't do it justice at all. She plays like a dream, and will get her first outing tomorrow at a gig in the morning, and rehearsal with a different band in the afternoon.

eude Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 That's gorgeous mate - bet it was worth the wait! Eude Quote
Johngh Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 Many thanks for all the comments guys ! It had its first outing yesterday and it was brilliant, it has a very powerful even sound to it and looks great. I wish I could do sound clips, but I don't have the technology ! Yep it was worth the wait, and for the money its an absolute bargain. Jon took loads of photo's when I went to collect it and he will send them through when he has time, so when I get them I will post them up as my photo's are sh*te. Quote
thedontcarebear Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I dunno if it was mentioned before, but how much was it in total? Quote

To be fair, a lot of people who have customs made tend to be a bit shy about quoting the price paid. If I posted the price on here it may p*ss people off who may-may not have payed more for theirs, and possibly put Mr Shuker on a sticky wicket. I will PM you with the guide price though. Quote

skelf Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) Hi I have just found out that ABM makers of headless hardware have shut there doors. The owner has died and they are trying to find a buyer for the company without much luck from what I can gather. This will effect the supply of headless units unless ETS up there production. Unfortunately there is also some doubt to wither ETS is still a going concern.. I don't know where John gets his hardware from but I think this will have a knock on effect on the availability of this hardware for sometime.Not sure but I think that Status get ABM to build their single string bridge/tuner units. I could be total wrong on this so please correct me if you know different. Alan p.s. Really like that bass. Love the whole headless idea I have never known why more people don't like them.

Jon contacted Status about supplying him with some tuners to finish my bass, but Rob was reluctant to part with any. I know Jon is talking to other suppliers, so all is not lost. Glad you like my bass, she sounds great. John Quote

skelf Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Hard to see a down side especially as the string count goes up. Quote
